Description
sE Electronics X1A-2C RB - Capacitor Microphone for Home Studio Its striking red and black finish adds character to any recording studio, while premium technical specifications make it suitable for both vocal and instrumental recordings. This model proves that professional recordings do not always require a large budget - you just need the right equipment and a touch of creativity. Product Features sE Electronics X1A-2C RB capacitor microphone offers a precise, natural frequency response in the range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz, ensuring faithful reproduction of any sound source. Thanks to a maximum sound pressure level of 150 dB (with the 20 dB pad engaged), it can handle even very loud sources, such as guitar amplifiers or drum kits, without risk of clipping. Built-in switchable filters - low-cut at 100 Hz and 20 dB pad - provide full control over the recorded signal and allow you to tailor the sound to specific acoustic conditions. The cardioid polar pattern effectively eliminates sounds coming from the rear and sides of the microphone, which is crucial in acoustically untreated rooms. A sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa ensures an adequate signal level even with quiet sources, while an output impedance below 50 ohms allows for use with long cables without loss of quality. Professional Capabilities for Your Creativity The sE Electronics X1A-2C RB microphone was designed with musicians, producers, and podcasters in mind who expect studio-quality sound without compromise. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the sound source from ambient noise, which is extremely important in home recording environments. A low self-noise level (16 dB) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 78 dB ensure that recordings remain clean and detailed even with subtle sound sources, such as an acoustic guitar or delicate vocals. A very significant advantage of this model is its wide dynamic range (114 dB without pad, 134 dB with pad), which allows for the capture of both delicate passages and very loud sections without distortion. The precisely matched 2/3" Back-electret capsule ensures natural sound and fast transient response, a feature particularly appreciated by acoustic guitarists and drummers. As a result, this microphone performs excellently in drum recordings, where accurate reproduction of attack and decay of individual kit components is key. The microphone requires 48V phantom power (P48 in accordance with IEC 61938), which is standard in most audio interfaces, mixers, and recorders. The low current draw (4.0 mA) means it can be safely used with battery-powered portable devices, a feature appreciated by musicians recording outside the studio. It works seamlessly with any audio interface equipped with phantom power. The switchable 100 Hz low-cut filter (6 dB/octave) allows for quick removal of unwanted bass, such as floor rumble or low fan hum. Meanwhile, the 20 dB pad enables recording of very loud sources - from drums and guitar amplifiers to brass instruments - without risking preamp clipping. Thanks to these features, the microphone is highly versatile and adapts to any recording situation. Applications Vocal recordings - solo and backing vocals, in studio and live Drum kit recording - overheads (OH) and room microphones Recording acoustic and electric guitar (with amplifier or cabinet) Orchestral instruments, strings, piano, and woodwind instruments Podcasts, speech recordings, voiceovers, and streaming Detailed Technical Specifications Capacitor type: 2/3" Back-electret Condenser Output impedance: 1 kΩ Connector: 3-pin XLR (male) Power: 48V Phantom Power (P48, IEC 61938) Polar pattern: Cardioid Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 20 mV/Pa (-34 dBV) Max SPL: 130/150 dB (0/20 dB pad, 0.5% THD @ 1 kHz) Self-noise level: 16 dB Dynamic range: 114/134 dB (0/20 dB pad) Signal-to-noise ratio: 78 dB Low-cut filter: 100 Hz, 6 dB/octave, switchable Pad: 20 dB, switchable Current draw: 4.0 mA Microphone diameter: 58 mm Microphone length: 169 mm Microphone weight: 390 g Materials and Construction The sE Electronics X1A-2C RB microphone housing is made of durable metal in a striking red and black color, which distinguishes this model from competitors and adds character.
